Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
Pelosi and Reid emerged from the white house with huge smiles on their faces. Reid then put his arm around Pelosi to announce that everyone would support whatever Afghanistan policy the president produces. Pelosi rolled her eyes and the media caught it. She does not agree with this. Back in Washington, Pelosi made it clear she angry with the stunt Reid had pulled.

That is classic. Aside from personal political opinions, Pelosi obviously didn't agree with what was said. She's "supposed" to agree with everything that comes out of Obama's administration! Maybe she has a little bit of her own opinion.
This proves you have to have some acting skill in politics. I can't believe they would make that announcement if they clearly did not agree. However, you never know what was going on behind the scenes. It just goes to show that things can be misconstrued by the media and cause an uproar.
This was very shocking!! It also showed that they are not unified. Pelosi body language proved that she had other thoughts and opinions about the issue. Next time they should make sure they are all on one accord before appearing to the public.
This will be a classic example used in future class lectures for this class in regards to women in politics and their tendency to be more emotional (or show more emotion). When a woman rolls her eyes, it definitely means there's emotions behind it!
